It's generally the easiest to use SQLite btw.

SQLite is built-in and easiest and has fine performances for most cases.
If not enough, PostgreSQL would be the more powerful alternative (cf. #5648 (comment) )

@Frenzie Thanks.

I could do that (although I've no idea how?) but, in trying to find out how, I found this: #961 where the person wants to migrate from SQLite to Mysql.

So I wonder if I'm better sticking with Mysql?

If I'm better off with SQLite, please could you guide me how to do that.

As I said, I've been following this guide: https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0234.html - except that at the end I go to http://localhost/freshrss - as it says in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iQufgPkMo&t=6s - instead of http://DNSorIP:8089.

Then I select a Language and click Submit
Click the Go to the next step button
Complete the database configuration form as follows

Type of database: MySQL
Host: mariadb
Database username: freshrss_rw
Database password: Fr3s4R$S!!
Database: freshrss
Table prefix:

What should I do instead of the above in order to use SQLite?

from freshrss.

I've sorted this out now. I should not have been specifying a host.

But, @Frenzie, if you have any advice on using SQLite instead, I'd still appreciate it.
